You need to use a Service. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Service.html. Activity-Based Classes will not run when Screen is off — Thommy, Nov 15 '12 at 10:23

You can run the Service that runs in the background or for updates you can use push mechanism rather then the pull mechanism. You can use Google cloud Messaging for push notification.

The reason is that when your application doesn't have focus (I assume that you are using an Activity) it is paused or stopped.

You can use a Service if you want to run something in the background.
